We all know, no oil pressure is a bad thing for bearings. Why does the new VB require max clutch pedal pressure before you can push the engine start button?
The poor thrust bearings on the crank must be thinking... wtf Subaru?
So I stuck my head under the dash to eyeball this arrangement. There is clutch switch at top of the pedal and another at the bottom of the pedal's travel. I know the lower switch is crank enable, what does the top switch do? It does not disable cruise control.
It would be nice to disable or bypass this "clutch in" requirement on startup. A simple neutral check would suffice for all, but Subaru's legal department.
Anyone else consider this or have a solution to prevent premature thrust bearing wear?
